Favorite MATLAB Demonstration:
- The Graphics "Viewing a Penny" demonstration was easily my favorite. The ability for a program to plot 3-Dimensional data representing a physical object is hard not to be amazed by. The detail on the penny's surface represented by a contour plot is awesome. I was exposed to new ideas such as using a pseudocolor that varies depending on its relative height determined by the Laplacian command. I thought that this sequence of commands was genius and the product was clean.
